I'm troubled in Mind
Oh, Jesus, my Saviour, on Thee I'll depend
When troubles are near me you'll be my true friend

I'm troubled
I'm troubled
I'm troubled in mind
If Jesus don't help me
I surely will die

When ladened with troubles and burdened with grief
To Jesus in secret I'll go for relief

In dark days of bondage to Jesus I prayed
To help me to bear it, and He gave me His aid

Lyrics
Gonna ride up in the chariot,
Soon-a in the mornin',
Ride up in the chariot,
Soon-a in the mornin',
Ride up in the chariot,
Soon-a in the mornin',
And I hope I'll join the band.

O, Lord, have mercy on me,
O, Lord, have mercy on me,
O, Lord, have mercy on me,
And I hope I'll join the band.

Gonna meet my brother there, yes,
Soon-a in the mornin',
Meet my brother there, yes,
Soon-a in the mornin',
Meet my brother there, yes,
Soon-a in the mornin',
And I hope I'll join the band.

O, Lord, have mercy on me,
O, Lord, have mercy on me,
O, Lord, have mercy on me,
And I hope I'll join the band.

Gonna chatter with the angels,
Soon-a in the mornin',
Chatter with the angels,
Soon-a in the mornin',
Chatter with the angels,
Soon-a in the mornin',
And I hope I'll join the band.

O, Lord, have mercy on me,
O, Lord, have mercy on me,
O, Lord, have mercy on me,
And I hope I'll join the band.

"SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD"





from « American Negro Spirituals»
by J. W. Johnson, J. R. Johnson, 1926

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
True believer
A long ways from home
Along ways from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land
True believer
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
There’s praying everywhere
